Overview

Experience a one-of-a-kind adventure that combines education and exploration at the prestigious National Aquarium, the largest of its kind in the Middle East. The aquarium boasts a diverse range of marine animals spread across different zones, each representing unique ecosystems such as the tropical waters of the Pacific, the freshwaters of the Amazon, the ice caps of the Arctic and the caves of the Mediterranean. Observe the mesmerizing behaviour of these marine creatures as you embark on our Bu Tinah Dhow, a glass-bottom boat that offers a unique perspective. Get the opportunity to expand your knowledge with our new Pristine Seas exhibit zone which is developed in collaboration with National Geographic. The exhibit zone highlights the importance of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a mechanism for protecting and restoring the world’s oceans. Through the exhibition’s narrative, photography, and film, visitors will learn how the Pristine Seas team supports Indigenous Peoples, local communities and governments in the creation of MPAs.
